May 16, 2012 – The Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority has selected Lake Assault Boats, LLC to build two specialized aluminum work boats that will remove floating debris from the Cuyahoga River ship channel and the downtown Lake Erie shoreline.

The Port’s Board of Directors agreed today to enter into a contract for up to $358,058 with the Superior, Wisconsin company. The project is being funded by a $425,160 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded the Port last year.
